A downloadable game for Windows

THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

You have 90 seconds. 

Your game needs features. 

The bugs want blood.

Ship It is a chaotic top-down arcade game where you are a lone developer

rushing against time. Gather up scattered feature fragments to your game while

holding off a constantly increasing swarm of bugs, all while avoiding a

decrease in build quality.

🛠 HOW IT WORKS

- Gather up fragments from your local area

- Defend your ship while fragments are committed

- Finished features unlock more possible development

- Survive the swarm


⚠️ BUT WATCH OUT

- More committed fragments = more bugs

- Bugs attack your ship, and you can't see them most of the time

- Threat arrows at the edge of your screen warn you of threats closing in


💰 AFTER EACH RUN

Spend Revenue to buy permanent Upgrades:

- Increased speed

- Increased damage to bug elimination

- Turret QA defenses for the ship

- Increase "backpack" size (hold/transport more at once)

Buy all the things, and advance to phases from Prototype, to Vertical Slice, to Production, to finally SHIP.
